The pond is one of several located about 30 kilometres from the city of Trelew used by local industries for releasing chemicals or treated water.
Pablo Lada, a member of the SocioEnvironmental Assemblies of Chubut province called Friday for an independent analysis to determine what is to blame.

She said her company uses a separate pond about a kilometre away for its discharges of treated water and that the one that turned pink is used by the Trelew Industrial Park.
